This is why roads like Kenmount could really use a roundabout or two to start cutting down on people attempting these dangerous left hand turns...
Roundabouts keep traffic flowing, allow you to change direction easily, force drivers to slow down and pay attention. Just so much better and safe in my opinion especially compared to large intersections. The only real challenge is for pedestrians.
Edit: Realizing that you may be referring to making a left from Allandale on to Strawberry Marsh and not vice versa like I thought... so ignore my comment if so...

Yeah, you're absolutely right about all that - like anything, it's human behaviour that has to catch up. In this case, maybe "doing something about Strawberry Marsh Road" is just disallowing left turns and letting people figure out those legal U-turns themselves.
